           Summary: Output X-Purpose header for prefetch requests
           Product: WebKit

          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal

When we landed Bug 3652, we didn't put the "X-Moz: prefetch" request header in.  It's probably a good idea to emit something so sites can, e.g. 404 on prefetch requests, or not do server-log analytics., and so I propose we emit "X-Purpose: prefetch".  This is very similar to what Safari generates now for its preview pages ("X-Purpose: preview"), and isn't strangely browser specific like X-Moz was.
